Silicon Vally is embracing Christianity. Is this religion, or a business and career networking opportunity?

Gifted article:
Seeking God, or Peter Thiel, in Silicon Valley
When tech luminaries talk about their Christian faith, people listen.
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/11/business/silico...

"And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel* to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God." - attributed to a first century itinerant street-preacher named Yeshua.

* more likely "rope".

“'The eye of a needle' referred to a very small entryway into Jerusalem.”

Meh. That’s just rich Christians trying to get around one of the many teachings they don’t like - “it’s difficult but could be done”

The words for camel and rope in Aramaic are very similar. Rope makes much more sense.

...is a myth. An old one, a fun one, but still a myth.
